Perfectly Port Travels: Caribbean Cruise Attire...

I am wrapping up this Cruise Crazy Week with what I took along. Cruising requires LOTS of clothes. You have beach wear to cocktail dresses to consider. 7 nights of cruise dining and they don't allow "short pants, flip flops or tank tops" in the dining room which they reminded us of no less than 100 times #thereweresomeshortshortpants #notme.

We left freezing conditions and gray skies so I wore layers...airplanes can be hot or cold.

Our cruise ship did have a little clothes line in our teeny tiny shower to hang up wet swimsuits but I packed plenty just to be sure. I knew I wanted a one piece for things like the flow rider and water slides #nowardrobemalfunctionsplease.

Jantzen Swimsuit (TJ Maxx) // Sunglasses (TJ Maxx)

A couple excursions were to the beach so I knew I needed a few cover-ups for to and fro and even to grab lunch on the ship. No swimsuits are allowed in the buffet and dining areas!

Our cruise had 2 formal nights (suits/tuxes for the gentlemen and cocktail dresses for women) and then 5 casual dining evenings. No shorts, tank tops or flip flops were allowed in the dining room, fyi!

Chambray shirt (I took to the beach several times for sun protection)**The cruise provides towels for both on board and to check out for the beachSunscreen (we took 2 bottles and could have used 3)Refillable water bottleWaterproof phone holderWet bag (to place wet items in for the way home)2 pairs of sunglasses

Everything fit inside a medium sized suitcase that we checked. I wore nearly everything I brought and we kept one suitcase for all dirty clothes for on the trip home. Check your cruise line itinerary to know what dress codes they have and how many formal evenings they will have. Every cruise line and cruise itinerary are different!
